Today is May 18th. Red Robin Rex is now looking like this!
It is almost gone and I am not sure what to do with it. I wrote the company yesterday when it arrived and told them I thought it might make it, but if it did not I will let them know. Unfortunately it looked so much worse this morning I have no idea if it will survive now.
I thought it might be a good topic to show this from the beginning, and we can all follow the saga and see if it has a happy ending.
I do know the paperwork said the plant was drop shipped from some grower other than who sold it to me, so if that is true and I do know who it is, we will address that when and if the time comes. I am starting with the company who sold it to me.
This will be a good opportunity to see how some people do business and how they correct their mistakes.
I am not being nasty about this, I just feel when people buy plants, and I sell alot of starter plants, they are taking a really big chance. I have cancelled orders at times if the plants do not look like they will survive. Some starter plants are not really very pretty, but most people buying them small know what they can expect. I do hope I hear from the company who sent this and I hope they tell the grower
they have a problem. :) We will see.
It has been a difficult winter and I am sure there is a good explanation for this situation happening as it has. I just wanted a Red Robin so bad I could taste it. Now I have one.
I am very sad for that poor plant. It is so sick. : (
